Support IMMOLATION PAPERS at Scene and Heard Festival 2025!

THIS IS A SACRIFICE.

“We’re here to burn someone alive, and you’re here to watch. That’s what this play is—a human sacrifice.

And it’s all real.

Isn’t it?”

Immolation Papers is a new play by Michael Lucey, and the debut production of PHAETHON ENSEMBLE, created for Scene + Heard Festival of New Work 2025 at Smock Alley Theatre. We are hoping that you would donate to help us cover our production costs for costume, props/set pieces and rehearsal space. We are so, so grateful for any and all support, no matter how small, to ensure that we can bring to you the best and most exciting production possible!

In return for your support, your name will be included in the supporting materials of Immolation Papers, which will be displayed in the Banquet Hall of Smock Alley during the festival.
